Chapter 77

Although Jinghai City had a mess of problems, Yang Yu wasn't worried.

Yang Yu returned to Jinghai City and didn't go straight to his residence. Instead, he went to Guangtian Technology Group. It had been a long time since he had been to work, and he almost forgot he still had this job. However, Liu Xuerao was still working, and it was just about lunchtime. He might as well go and see her.

At the entrance of Guangtian Technology, Yang Yu saw the security squad leader who had saluted him last time.

Although Yu Zemin was dead, the security system at Guangtian Technology hadn't changed. It was still the three-squad, eight-hour shift system. Coincidentally, the squad leader on duty today was the same one from last time.

Seeing Yang Yu approach, the squad leader's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Stand straight! The captain is here, keep your eyes sharp!"

Hearing the squad leader's words, Yang Yu looked behind him in confusion, but there was no one there. Who was the squad leader talking about? Yang Yu was curious to see who had taken Yu Zemin's place.

"Captain, you're here. Do you have any instructions?" The squad leader ran up to Yang Yu, his face full of flattery.

"Captain, me?" Yang Yu pointed to himself, puzzled. When had he been promoted to captain? It was a bit awkward for an IT worker from the information department to suddenly become a security captain. The promotion was too big.

"Yes! President Liu announced it two days ago. The three squads are about to start a campaign to learn from you. You will be our role model. Your will is our goal. With you here, Guangtian Technology is impregnable. Under your leadership, we will be the strongest security team in Jinghai City." The squad leader was enthusiastically showing off his eloquence.

Yang Yu was speechless.

The three squads were going to learn from him? What was there to learn? Absenteeism? Early departure? Flirting with the female president? He had only worked for less than a week. How could he be a model?

"What's your name?" Yang Yu looked at the man, who was truly talented. He could lie with a straight face and flatter professionally.

"Reporting to Captain, my name is Wang Xing. Wang of Wang Xing, Xing of Wang Xing. Please take care of me in the future." Wang Xing even gave a military salute.

Yang Yu was taken aback, realizing this guy must have been in the military before. However, given his smooth talk, he wondered how he had managed to stay in the army.

"Promising!" Yang Yu patted Wang Xing's shoulder.

"Thank you, Captain!" Wang Xing replied, wincing slightly. He hadn't expected Yang Yu to be so strong but managed to stand firm.

"Good, very good." Yang Yu became more interested in Wang Xing. "Call the other two squad leaders over. We can get to know each other today."

Wang Xing was relieved and immediately said, "Captain, please wait. I'll go call them, but they are quite arrogant. I'm afraid they might disrespect you. If they do anything to upset you, please don't be angry."

Yang Yu gave Wang Xing a sidelong glance. This guy seemed to be giving him a heads-up, but he was also badmouthing the other two squad leaders.

However, Yang Yu didn't bother to point it out. He saw that Wang Xing, though smug, wasn't malicious. He just wanted to get back at the other two squad leaders, which wasn't uncommon among colleagues.

Soon, Wang Xing brought the other two squad leaders over. They were as arrogant as Wang Xing had described, looking down on Yang Yu and even challenging him.

"You two, report your names. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll make an effort to get to know you." Yang Yu didn't look at them, putting on an even more domineering air. He was secretly amused. They were putting on airs, but he could do it better and more arrogantly. He wanted to see if they could hold their ground.

"Dai Bing!"

"Niu Dun!"

Hearing these names, Yang Yu's eyes widened. "Dai Bing, how many soldiers have you led? And Niu Dun, has an apple hit you recently?"

Dai Bing and Niu Dun were immediately angry. Yang Yu was clearly doing this on purpose, and the other security guards couldn't help but laugh. They had never thought about the double meaning of the two squad leaders' names.

"Captain, my name is Dai Bing. Dai of wearing a hat, Bing of being a soldier, not leading an army. I hope you remember this clearly, or your college education might have been a waste," Dai Bing said, clearly unhappy, and even gave a cold snort.

"Oh, so it's the Dai of wearing a hat. I see, the Dai of wearing a green hat, right? I'll remember this time. Your college education wasn't a waste," Yang Yu pretended to be enlightened.

Wearing a green hat?

Dai Bing almost spat on Yang Yu. Why bring up the green hat? Everyone knew his wife had cheated on him with another man while he was in the army. When he returned, he caught them in the act and broke their legs in a fit of rage, leading to his honorable discharge.

Before Dai Bing could get angry, Wang Xing laughed, "Old Dai, it's just a woman. You go first, I'll go next, and everyone will get used to it. Don't take it to heart. I hear her business is doing well. I'll go support her business in a few days."

Hearing Wang Xing's words, Yang Yu was stunned. This was truly evil. He had just made a random comment, but it hit the mark.

"Go to hell. That woman is a slut. She has nothing to do with me. If you want to go, go ahead, but be careful not to get AIDS," Dai Bing sneered, but Yang Yu could see the twitching on his face, indicating the incident had deeply affected him.

"Captain, my surname is Niu, but it's the Niu of shield, the strongest shield. No one can break through my defense," Niu Dun interjected, eager to explain.

"The strongest shield?" Yang Yu looked at Niu Dun carefully. "Little Niu, who can't brag? I'm better at it. I once punched a tank and caught a bullet with my hand. When I'm bored, I swim in Antarctica and play outside the Earth. Sigh, being invincible is too lonely."

Hearing Yang Yu's wild exaggerations, Niu Dun was speechless. He pointed at Yang Yu and said, "I'm not lying. In the army, no one could break through my defense. If you don't believe me, try it yourself. I'm not lying."

"Little Niu, you're not lying because you're a Niu. Praising your ancestors isn't lying," Yang Yu shook his head and sighed.

Wang Xing couldn't hold back anymore. Hearing Yang Yu call Niu Dun "Little Niu," it sounded like "Little Girl" to him. Niu Dun, oblivious, was already red with anger.

"You're bullying me. I'll teach you a lesson and show you if I'm lying," Niu Dun finally said, knowing he couldn't win in a verbal battle, so he decided to use his fists.

"Good, Little Niu, teach him a lesson. Don't think you can make us believe you just because you got the captain's position through connections. Go ahead and beat him. If anything happens, I'll back you up in front of President Liu," Dai Bing said.

"Alright, I'll beat him," Niu Dun, emboldened by Dai Bing's support, said.

"Hmph, with you two losers." Yang Yu's tone turned cold. "No need to waste time. He can't do it alone, so you can both come at me."

Seeing Yang Yu point at him, Dai Bing was furious. "You're asking for it. Do you really think we three squad leaders are pushovers? Except for Wang Xing, the flatterer, we two are tough. We never respected you from the start."

Yang Yu smiled coldly. "You don't respect me? Today, I'll beat you until you do. Come at me together. My time is valuable, and I don't want to waste it on you small fries."

"Hmph, I'll go first and see what you're made of." Niu Dun, fuming, charged at Yang Yu, aiming a punch at his stomach, a straightforward move from military boxing.

"Too slow!" Yang Yu said, grabbing Niu Dun's fist with one hand and pushing him aside.

"Don't underestimate me!" Niu Dun turned and charged again, acting like a bull.

"Still too slow!" Yang Yu easily dodged.

"Take this kick!"

"Still too slow!"

"Again!"

"Aren't you hungry? You're as slow as a snail."

...

For three minutes, Yang Yu said "too slow" over a dozen times. Niu Dun was frustrated; he hadn't even touched Yang Yu's collar.

"You're cheating. My strength is in defense. If you're capable, attack me," Niu Dun finally realized and stopped attacking.

"Alright, as you wish." Yang Yu smiled strangely, his body suddenly dispersing into a blur. Then he shouted, "Xianyun Push Palm!"

Niu Dun was sent flying several yards, crashing into a notice board and shattering it. His clothes were torn, his pants half off, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Yang Yu in disbelief.

"Impossible, this can't be. How can you be so strong? Even the elite special forces aren't as strong as you. You're not human," Niu Dun shouted, blood spattering from his mouth.

"Damn, you're the one who's not human," Yang Yu glared at Niu Dun. "You're a frog at the bottom of a well. Do you really think your skills make you invincible? No one has broken your defense because you haven't met anyone strong enough."

With that, Yang Yu turned to Dai Bing. "He's done. It's your turn. I offered to let you both attack me, but you hesitated. Are you looking down on me?"

Dai Bing broke out in a cold sweat, suppressing his fear. He looked up and laughed nervously. "Captain, look, the weather is nice today, clear skies, perfect for a trip."

Yang Yu looked up, hearing Dai Bing's attempt to change the subject. "Are you giving up? It's overcast today, and the forecast says it might rain. There are no clear skies, only dark clouds."

Dai Bing was speechless.
